Overview

When you log in to the Work order module of the Work execution app, the landing page displays the Work order lists page. On this page you can see a set of lists which are aimed at helping you search, organize, and retrieve work order/job records efficiently.

The landing page has two categories of lists: Created lists and Default lists (see screenshot 01).

Created Lists

This section will display the lists that are customized and created by you using the necessary search filters.

Default Lists

There are five default lists that are automatically created and displayed on the Work order lists page: All, Favorites, Previously viewed, Scheduled to me, and Downloaded. Note that these lists are only visible when you have the required permission to create/manage work orders/jobs.

• All: The All list will display the complete list of work orders available.
• Favorites: The Favorites list will display the work order/job records that you have marked as favorites.
  • A maximum of 50 favorite work orders/jobs will be saved in this list.
  • The list is sorted by last visited.
  • Filtering, sorting, and reports are disabled for this type of list.
• Previously viewed: The Previously viewed list will display the work order/job records that were last visited/opened by you.
  • Note:
    • A maximum of 50 last visited work orders and work order jobs will be saved in this list.
    • The list is sorted by last visited.
    • Filtering, sorting, and reports are disabled for this type of list.
• Scheduled to me: This list shows the work orders/jobs that are scheduled to you, and they are available online and offline.

The number of work orders/jobs in a list is shown in the grey box.

Search for Work Orders

When searching for entities on the Work order lists screen through a saved search (user-defined lists) or globally (predefined lists), the set of fields that are being searched is specified in the mobile application and cannot be changed by the user.

On the Work order lists screen or in a list (predefined and user-defined lists), you can start a search by selecting the search icon at the top.

You can search for:

• Work order ID
• Work order type name
• Job type ID
• Work order description
• Functional location name
• Functional location ID

Note

When you make a search on the Work order lists screen, you search in all active work orders. When you make a search in a list, you only search the contents of that list.

1. On the Work order lists screen, or in a list, select the search icon. Enter a search string in the search field, or search by scanning a QR code or barcode. (See the article below for further explanation of searching using QR codes and barcodes).
2. Search by scanning a QR code or barcode:
   1. Select the Scan a code button.
   2. Follow the instructions on the screen to scan a QR code or barcode.
3. Search by entering a search string in the search field:
   1. Your search string may contain the entire ID or name, the middle of an ID or name, or part of the ID or name. Search works both in online and offline mode. Offline mode means searching the data available on your mobile device at the time of the search.
      Example 1: If you enter 08* in the search field, the result is a list of work order IDs that start with the number 08.
      Example 2: If you enter *3* in the search field, the result is a list of work order IDs that contain the number 3.

If you select a search result to go to a work order or work order job/line, the search string is reset.

Select or to cancel a search. The search string is deleted when you return to the Work order lists screen.

Search Using QR Code and Barcode Scanning

If you are using barcodes or QR codes to tag your assets, objects, locations, or items, you can search for them using the barcode scanner or QR code scanner option in the Work execution app. The Work execution application includes built-in support for barcode and QR code scanning.

For users who need faster scanning or want to scan difficult or damaged codes, an enhanced version is available with a separate license. To enable the enhanced version, ensure that you have the required license to use the barcode/ QR code scanner. Once the license is in place, go to General > Enhanced barcode and QR scanning in module configuration and enable it for the user.

You can scan a QR code or barcode to search for tagged assets, objects, locations, or items in the Work order lists page or within an individual work order listing page.

1. Click on the Scan a code button at the top right corner (see screenshot 01).
2. Start scanning. Ensure that the code to scan is inside the bordered area (see screenshot 02).
3. The stored text from the QR code or barcode is passed to the standard search input and the search is performed.

01: Start scanning by selecting 'Scan a code'.

02: Ensure that the code to scan is inside the bordered area.
